Does anyone know where I can buy just the bulb socket for the rear side marker lights on a 68?

If you find some please tell me. I´m also interested!

Thomas

me too, i found some at the local parts store that have the ground wire, ill go with those if i cant find the original kind.
only other place i found them was with the wiring kits and you have to buy the whole kit

i got mt set at Murrays auto parts. probably not a perfect reproduction though.

Chondro, good to see another Bird in MN. I don't see too many around here. What auto part store did you find those at? I don't need the correct ones, I just want ones that will stay in the housing without having to silicone them in so they won't fall out. Thanks...Dan

Could you not use some off a GTO?

David

Would'nt any 60's car that had side light's work ?
I may have some extra's, if I do you can have them.
Give me a few day's to check.

Doug, they are different from most i have personally seen.They have metal tabs around the socket that hold it in place when pushed in the marker light housing.They also seem a little larger,not much,but enough to make a different one need to be held in place with some sort of adhesive.I have them on my harness but somewhere along the line the holes were covered/quarter section was replaced so i don't currently use them.


David

I found a couple let me know how many your needing.

Chondro and Derding... it's good to live up in God's country, cuz that makes our birds even cooler!

Steven, where in MN are you?

But they really enjoy summer. Both days.

Summer in Minnesota are those two days when the ice fishing ain't so good, right?

Ha ha.... you guys are funny! The cold weather just makes us appreciate our cars more in spring.

Just so you know... we call it God's country cuz the devil wouldn't have us!

Oh, and for those who asked, I am in Saint Cloud.

Steven

Your in a beautiful state. Just love dissappearing into the Boundary Waters for a few days.

Sorry for interrupting your conversation about the beauty of your states ... but could we please return to the original topic?

Any ideas where we can get our hands on these
hard-to-find and still harder-to-get bulb sockets for the rear side marker lights on a 68?

Thomas

Thomas,
I checked all my resto catalogs and find no repros.
For used, I usually check two sources:
Chicago Muscle Car Parts http://www.cmcponline.com/ (he is generally pricy but often has the used parts)
and
FirebirdBill at earlybrds@aol.com
and
keep checking EBay
Jim

Or try Franks Pontiac parts at web page
or Terry Ritter at (954) 721-1459 or youjincho@prodigy.net

Nah we get more than 2 days of summer, 3 or 4.
you cant beat the summers up here tho, in August when its 110 in Texas its like 75-80 here

I just took the bulb down to autozone and found a socket that would fit, but like i said it had the ground wire so i didnt get them.
